if you do not see water in the tube and the clothes have spun out enough to go into the dryer when the washer cycle finishes the washer has drained out all of the water the water you hear in the tub when the door is open and you spin the tub with your hand that liquid is in the sealed balance ring , that is a sealed channel around the front of the tub to help the machine stay balanced it does not come out

your pump is clogged with matt mud...
remove the back panel
the pump will be right on the left
two hose clazmps
you will loose a gal water
1/4 turn on the pump it will now come out
disconnect the two wires...
clean the pump out and try to clean out sump hose and drain hose
sump from tub to pump
darin pump to drain
reassemble your done

we had the same problem. First the repairman ordered and installed a new clutch. If the clutch is out, the spin cycle cannot do its job. But after the first load, it leaked. So for another $300 part he came today to replace a bearing and seal. Now the bearings under the tub need to be repaired at $500 for the part. We said no, no more money and now are going to have it picked up for $20!! You can start with the clutch and see if you can avoid the bearing issue we had. Sorry!!
